Are there, like, no more than 12 Actual Board-Certified Bears fans out there?

There are lots and lots, and are actually quite an admirable bunch, considering all the bad team management they have had to put up with over the years. Occasionally they get rewarded when the team jumps up and outperforms management.

We are around. We just haven't had too much to cheer about since 2001, and even then we knew we weren't better than the Philthy Eagles. (Think we would have beaten the Rams, though.)

I have several theories as to the popularity of Packers paraphenalia:

1. Brett Favre. Before he fell out of favor for not "going away quietly", that guy MOVED Packer merchandise.

2. The juxtaposition of the colors "nose-pickin' snot-green" and "piss-yellow" ("Gold!", the FudgePacker fans cry; shut up, weenies, it's YELLOW) is SO offensive that they can't even be mentioned together, and in a perverted way, wearing the Packer colors has become a back-door, quasi-acceptable, "P.C." form of anti-social fashion behavior. ("A Packer jersey?", exclaims a confused mom. "Well, at least he's not smoking cigarettes!")

3. The country is just THAT sick of the hoodlum colors of the Oakland Raiders and the Chicago White Sox, and nothing on Earth could be further from boring-ass, overdone black clothes than the Packer colors of bodily discharge.

You are in the wrong place if you are looking to start a flame war. Bears fans here have a fairly healthy respect for Aaron Rodgers -- he could easily have a career night tonight and "lite da bears up"...no one here would be that surprised.

LOL... Son Of is a good laddie, and a fellow suffering Islanders fan. It gets to one after a while.

Good. Welcome to the Forum, Son Of Jor-el!

Hope you'll understand that this is where my graciousness ends, and, speaking for myself and maybe a few other Bears fans here, I hope your two aforementioned fantasy team members collide on an end-around on the first play of the game, and knock each other out of the game.

(Just mild owwies, tonight only, nothing serious. I'm not THAT evil. I actually LIKE watching Rodgers play, in 14 of his 16 regular season games.)

Sorry GB fans, your team isn't that great, the Bears just suck tonight in every aspect.

This wasn't an old fashion whooping...... the Bears just handed the game to the fudge packers

Lets see what happens when they play again in Chicago

Sorry Bear-boy..sour grapes. We'll see what happens in Chicago just like we did the past how so many years? The fact the Pack offense still isn't rolling, but managed to win by 13 illustrates two things:

1) The Colts are really Bad2) The Bears O-Line is pathetic and Urlacher is old

EDIT: Oh yeah:3) Cutler should keep his trap shut on Tuesdays about how well they will play on Thursdays. It would give him more energy to yell at his teammates. Christ..he whines more than his newborn.

In general the whole Bear defense is getting very old fast, they had better win this year or next or its going to be a long rebuilding process.

Don't hold your breath.

I gave Cutler ever chance, every excuse, but...he's not the guy. You don't cuss your teammates out on national TV as if they were a waiter that spilled hot coffee in your lap. Totally inexcusable. I wouldn't block for the little bltch if he lit me up like that.

Good luck this year

Sour Grapes?Where in my post did I make any excuses? If you read my post prior I said the O-line would be a huge problem.The Bears stunk from the coaching staff to every player on the team.Cutler acted like an ass, you never call out your teammate on the field then throw 4 picks.Briggs had an easy interception he dropped, then laughing about it on the sideline really pissed me offYou cant possibly think the Packers played that good, the game was handed to them, I wouldnt say your offense is some unstoppable juggernaut.

How did last years Super Bowl favorite do in their 1st playoff game last year at home Mr FUDGEPACKER?

Jeez whiny one..Mr Fudgepacker..wow..that's original. When you want to talk football and not be a playground baby...I'll talk football..otherwise, go back to the '85 Bears video..it's all you got

Ohhhh and calling someone Bear-boy and the reference to sour grapes is talking football?

"The Colts are really Bad" ...... thanks Einstein like I didnt already know that along with every other NFL fan."The Bears O-line is pathetic and Urlacher is old" .........I believe I had already stated the O-line stinks, and everyone gets old unless you are Marty Mcfly.

For the 11th or 12th time, Mr. Smith should have been the ex-Bears coach before they landed at O'Hare. Woefully unprepared. But I say keep him, because betting against the Bears is such easy pickin'. Cutler is a baby mope. I will say this: They will never win a championship with Cutler. Never. Ever. I savor every failure the Bears create for themselves. Born and raised in Chicago. The Bears demand no respect and they will get none. The Packers demand respect and do their best to earn it in kind; what more could you possibly want? The Bears squandered 1985 and lucked out in 1963. Other than that, what have they ever done in our lifetimes? But I love the blind loyalty, false reputation and the talk-no-walk.
